What are you basing any of that on?

From every time I e heard him speak, to any article or report I’ve read and just watching his body language.  He’s more I than Team from what I have gathered

Remember when he said we drafted the wrong Josh lol

Mel Kiper had Josh Allen rated the top QB of the 2018 draft & had him rated among the top 10 QB's he's rated of all time.  So no, I don't remember him saying that when the Bills drafted Josh Allen they drafted the wrong Josh.

From what I have read, Rosen has matured.  I assume he's been humbled by his lack of success in the league.  That said, he's had more than enough chances.  Even if he's the best teammate and hardest worker out there, he's just done.

Agreed just done. Sometimes too little too late

Now Darnold is a different story.  He could become Josh's mascot at some point, like Matt Barkley.  Someone else to entertain Josh in the QB room.

Is Darnold good at ping pong?  Can he become good at ping pong?

 

Maybe he can learn a few magic tricks, some shadow puppet stuff, a few impressions...

That's probably true, I just always find it odd when a guy has tools to dominate in college and can't even make a roster in the pros unless they just don't have the work ethic. Unrelated, Brissett is a fringe starter in this league, and maybe one of the best backup options out there.

For all his purported smarts, he could never process what was in front of him.  Give him a clean pocket and wide open receivers and he looked amazing.  Sort of like Rob Johnson except Johnson would eat the ball and take sack after sack, whereas Rosen would just aimlessly chuck it into the middle of the field when under duress.  Not going to get in the good graces of too many coaches with that approach.

Ok Mel whatever you say Mel.

I wouldn't mind if we took a look. Despite his career going in the shitter, he had worlds of talent in that arm in college. If we can resuscitate even a little bit of that he could make a nice backup or trade piece.

Ugh

Not me. I really thought that Allen, would go #1 overall, in the Draft. Can you imagine if we DID pick this guy? :wallbash::oops::rolleyes:

you did?  I think you were in pretty rare company.

He was #9 all time at the time of the 2018 draft.

 

10. Josh Allen, Wyoming

Draft class: 2018

Pick: No. 7 overall, Buffalo Bills

What I wrote at the time: "Allen has crushed the pre-draft process and is in the mix to be the No. 1 overall pick. He has shown improvement at the Senior Bowl and at the combine, and he has a high ceiling. Allen is super raw but can really sling it. His numbers weren't great in 2016 (28 touchdown passes, 15 interceptions while completing 56 percent of his passes), and his numbers weren't great in 2017 (16 touchdown passes, six interceptions while completing 56.3 percent of his passes), but NFL teams will take into account the talent around him. The Wyoming offense lost 47 touchdowns from the 2016 team, along with its center. I think Allen's numbers will be much better in an NFL offense with NFL players. He put some strong film together in the Cowboys' bowl win, throwing three touchdown passes in the first half, even while recovering from a shoulder injury."

Career notes: Allen broke out in Year 3 in Buffalo, completing 69.2% of his passes and throwing 37 touchdown passes with only 10 picks. He finished second in the MVP voting while leading the Bills to the AFC title game. Allen, who turns 25 this summer, has inserted himself into the top tier of NFL signal-callers.

 

Here's what he said when Allen was drafted:

Would be fun to revisit the pre draft threads I’m sure there was a genius banging the table for Rosen

Would love to see that Vlady 😂 

 

Are you guys serious lol. It was basically a majority of this board.

 

Man I did so much "film" watching that year. At various points pre-draft I was into Mayfield, Rosen, Allen and Darnold.

 

But by draft day I wanted Mayfield and Rosen and was too scared of the "project" Allen. 

 

Like a zillion of us, I too think the crow tastes great.

 

This topic is OLD. A NEW topic should be started unless there is a very specific reason to revive this one.
